Hey thanks, I went ahead and got one too.
Kinda wondering about the stand while folded in, it doesn't scratch the GT back?
No scratches from the stand. The rear and the stand sit a few mm away from the actual tab, quite well designed.

Got a white model I bought from Focalprice. Really like it too, but it sucks up the blue color from my jeans. Also, you can't use all 3.5mm since the cover adds a bit of rubber.
And it's not a jelly material, it's more like semi-stiff rubber.
I'm not sure what you mean, it sucks up the colour from your jeans? This has plastic on the rear and no colour is removed from mine.must be a bit different. Also I plug in my speakers and headphones to my tab and I've not had any problems with the hole size

I think I'll have most of the corners covered once this protective plastic is combined with the Zagg screen film. Applied that yesterday

I think he means the white gets discoloured by the blue of his jeans. Had a similar issue with a white phone cover on the GF's phone. After a week or so it had taken on the colour of her makeup! It is almost orange now, the cover NOT the GF
This is a great case in the OP, I have the same case but with out the stand. I got it off of Amazon for around 10 bucks.
I'd highly suggest still getting a screen protector when you buy a case though. My wife scratched hers, but she was carrying it around in her purse, so who knows what scratched it, could have been any one of those rocks she carries around in there!

I managed to make it 2 weeks unscathed with great care but I finally fell victim to a few scratches in the corners on the front and back and a chip in the middle (Just my luck, the case arrives today as well '-.-). Sure I heard the warnings of it being slippery but I guess I was surrounded by level surfaces all the time..Nonetheless while turning into a parking lot at a decent speed, my poor nexus leaped out of the cupholder like a bar of soap and onto the floor. Luckily, I managed to both grab it without holding up traffic or completely destroying the screen by stepping on it/dragging it too much across the floor trying to retrieve it. I guess this experience is motivation enough to keep my car cleaner >_>. My pure android experience isn't completely ruined but you can see the scratches if you look hard enough...Perfectionists be further warned.

did you have any screen protectors on the front and back or was it completely naked?

Get an hard case of eBay, it's matte finish, nice to touch and isn't slippery!

I decided to go with a diztronic tpu like I did on my galaxy s2 and it will be waiting for me when I get off work. It should serve me pretty well, I'm not very accident prone with my electronics...This however was a very unfortunate freak accident.
This has been mentioned a few times in the various review & first impression threads. No need to have another discussion about this.

Hello XDA,
I have just ordered myself the case in the picture as it´s described it is only 0.3 mm thin, but I am worried if this will protect my Note II from drops? What is your opinion?

Hi
I've got quite the same case and my phone fell down twice before I understood my jacket pocket had a hole in it...
The height was about 1.50 meters and the phone landed quite hard on the concrete.
No problem for the phone at all but the case have some scratches and a broken corner.
For the price and the slimness of this case I'm really happy and ordered the same one

Link to the case please! This is exactly what I am looking for. Does it come in different colors?

I have this case in gray. I like it, it doesnt add any bulk at all but its only good for scratch protection. It wont protect your phone from dropage. Another thing is its a pain in the ass to put on or take off because the tpu is not stretchable like silicones. I think its best paired up with a pouch.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app
Thank you everbody! Now I can die in peace... :angel:
it's not TPU or SILICON... it's plastic
I have the dark coloured version on my titanium gray Note II, it almost seems like naked :good:
I use it with a charger dock without problem. However, the original charger/data cable does not connect well to the phone, I have to use the cable from my Huawei P1.
be warned it offers almost no drop protection
the plastic will permanently deform on impact and required frequent removal and cleaning. dirt particles can be trapped under and cause scratches on your phone, unlike silicone cases.
Also its extremely tight fitting. remove it in the wrong corner and it will stretch out permanently and be loose fitting/deformed.
that said, its uber sexy and discreet. adds almost zero bulk to an already behemoth phone.
not sure i f mine was from the same seller, but the USB port cutout wasn't big enough for my USB plug causing the cable to fall out very easily and not charge the phone. a quick trim with a razor blade fixed it.
also i find it difficult to press the power and volume buttons. I wish the cutouts were a little more generous, but i didnt wanna muck with those 2, as it would be difficult to cut cleanly.
That is very nice, where did you get it, I am looking for one of this.

I purchased this kickstand case on ebay and I am very happy with it. This case stands the Note up at good angles both vertically and horizontally and It is slim enough to fit comfortably in my frocket (what my son calls my front shirt pocket) but offers adequate protection and has a nice front lip. It also slides in and out easily because of the hard plastic covering. The unexpected advantage is that the kickstand also can act like a holder for the phone for one handed operation by opening the kickstand and holding the phone by putting your middle finger through the opening of the kickstand and its supporting bracket. I also think the style is very attractive compared to most phone cases of this type and cost.

After trying a few different cases, my wife and I are both using this one now. Mine is black, hers is purple. The purple (not to be confused with the pink) is a stunning, deep, rich color. The only thing I'm not crazy about is the lines on the back. I'd prefer something a little cleaner. I love the case, though. It offers excellent protection, it's easy to get on and off (important to me because I swap batteries instead of charging the phone), and the price is right.

a bit thick for my taste. I'm waiting for this to arrive.
I'm replacing the RED stand with WHITE.

Most are sold out, but I have an extra Red/Red stand case for $10.

The nice thing about this case is it stands the Note 2 up, steadily and at a good angle, in either portrait or landscape.

Cases with the antenna cutout on the upper right corner drive me batty. It exposes 1 of the 4 primary drop points.
I could NOT find a case that I liked. I tried the official, but wasn't fond of its inability to stand up on its own, nor its inability to keep the front flap closed. I know I wanted smart cover functionality, but they all seemed more bulky than I wanted. I didn't even necessarily want a CASE, just a cover/stand like the iPad smart cover.
So I did this. Started with one of these for $13:
http://microcenter.com/product/403316/Folio_Tablet_Case_for_Google_Nexus_7_Black
I carefully took a putty knife and removed the cover part from the plastic case part and used a double sided adhesive square that I cut to the approximate size and stuck it directly on the back of the N7. Its entirely removable with a little heat and some patience, and does exactly what I want lightweight, cheap, and about 15 minutes of time. The buttons and ports are all full exposed and if folded back, it still fits into an OEM dock. I don't have one but I tried it on a buddy's at work. Yes, I know I need to clean my screen.

Sorry! Fixed!
Neat. Glad it worked out. I was thinking of putting something together myself like this but I am not sure what magnet to use.
Which one did you end up using and where did you get it from?
Its built into the cover I linked to. The cover is double sided taped to a hard plastic shell from which I removed it.

Good idea man. I'm thinking I might try this with a TPU case instead of directly onto the tablet.

I'm thinking of doing this with a good quality hardshell case. Any suggestions on a good hardshell to use?
I ordered this, it came today. The case is pretty nice. It has a slim profile, tpu backing with rigid sides. I'll have pics up in the morning if anybody is interested. 18.99 on ebay
Sent from my HTC6525LVW using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
so here are pictures of the case, sorry im a little late with getting these up. The case is a rigid TPU style case, clear on the back with back accents on the sides. It is a tight fit with the phone, but once in its very secure. The case doesnt wrap around the curvature of the phone all the way, so it looks like there will be no issue with a tempered glass screen protector. All the ports have access, including the IR port for the TV app. There is no lensing issues with the camera, or flash reflection, which is nice. The only real downside to this case is getting used to how far you need to press your finger to use the power switch, but im over that. there is also the slightest of gaps in the top of the case by the power button, but its a non-issue for me. Overall im happy with the case.

Thanks for the pictures, the case looks great! Does it add a lot of bulk or weight to the phone?

its a little thicker, but if i dont have something solid, ill do some foolish thing, all in ll its not bad
I had that case and sent it back for refund. It's a great case but I like a little more edge lip than this had. It's very low profile with excellent grip. I am opting between the clear UAG case or the supcase that I'm still waiting on to be delivered.
